After Lucia told us about her love for Luis in the eponymous film, creating confusing and nightmarish happenings, we experience a story from a literally reverse perspective in Luis. The room that was totally destroyed in Lucia is reassembled, bit by bit, until a drawn curtain refuses us admittance.

Lucía
Chile 2007, 4 min, DigiBetaDirectors/Screenwriters/Cinematographers/Editors/Producers: Niles Atallah, Cristóbal León, Joaquín Cociña | Cast: Paula Navarrete
Lucia is the first part of the film series Lucia, Luis and the Wolf, in which the story of three characters is illustrated in one single setting. In a quaintly furnished room all pieces of furniture come to life, charcoal drawings overrun the walls – and a whispering girl’s voice makes hairs stand on end.
